brown with a few scattered dots of the paler general coloration 

 and the lateral field of the tegmina almost entirely piceous ; 

 these markings are simply described as brown by Saussure and 

 McNeill, though the latter refers to the dots in the dark portion

 with Saussure's original description, in which unfortunately 

 the number of spines and spurs of the caudal tibiae are not 

 mentioned, though the length of the dorso-internal spur is 

 given.

This distinctive species, previously known only from the 

 type 7 , is remarkable in its very small size, graceful form, white 

 maxillary palpi, pronotum which narrows decidedly cephalad, 

 dark sooty markings and very long wings (though, as in the 

 other species of the genus, the tegmina are truncate distad and 

 almost wholly lack the anal field in the male sex). The series

 Soc. Ent. France, LXXXI, p. 402, 1912), of which he figures a male, be- 

 longs not to this species but to a species of Nemobius, probably trini- 

 tatis of Scudder.
